Brent Council consults on new Local Plan and development management

Following the story below on the South Kilburn Queen's Park Place development, readers may be interested in this from Brent Council:

We are updating our planning policies to shape the future of Brent.

We are consulting on the draft Development Management Policies Document, which will guide how we determine future planning applications.

Once adopted it will form part of the Local Plan, and supersede saved UDP policies.
The policies deal with important issues such as:
  • promoting strong town centres by setting limits on the number of takeaways, betting shops, pawnbrokers and payday loan shops
  • limiting takeaways and shisha cafes near schools
  • seeking the quality, size and type of homes the borough needs
  • boosting the economy, protecting open space and community facilities.
This is an opportunity for local people and organisations to say what you think about the proposed policies.

The period for consultation runs from 20 June to 31 July 2014. During this period we are also consulting on the accompanying Sustainability Appraisal, and associated alterations to the Core Strategy and Policies Map. All documents can be downloaded below.
Copies of these documents can also be viewed in all Brent libraries during the consultation period.
